'JeuxVideo.fr : The Last Guardian is very anticipated in France. Can you confirm for our readers that the game will arrive well next year on PS3?

Shuhei Yoshida : No, sorry, I can not say that ... Because the last time we talked about a date for The Last Guardian, we finally disappointed many people. But I can tell you that the team is working hard on the project, including the engine. It is precisely because the teams working on the technical aspect of the game that we have nothing concrete to show you today. So now I'm waiting for the right time to introduce you to The Last Guardian and speak with confidence of a release date.'

Why why why did they show it at E3 '09. Such a thrill to see the trailer back then, but knowing what I know now, I'd happily be completely unaware of this game's existence until it was in a finalised state.

At least Yosh is honest. I'm in a state of mind where I can accept that TLG isn't going to make it 2013 either.

I get the idea that Yoshida has no idea what to do with this game. Is like he has the music in mind, the world and the protagonist. But what to do about gameplay, and to convey the vision he has in mind about "emotions" is not translating well to him as a game designer...Curious how many reboots this game has gotten.

You know his emotions so well, curiously you don't even know that Yoshida is the head of SCE WW Studios and not a game designer.

Obviously if you still like Nintendo after the Wii the post-purchase rationalization must be strong in you. Psychology to the rescue.

This is so a PS4 launch title...

Any PS3 game shouldn't require any more time (after the 5+ years they've already spent) writing engine & tech code...

At this point, I just hope that the game won't be cancelled and won't suck. I wish the game will be out before the PS4/nextXbox will be out, so that it won't look too outdated. But if they decide to port it to PS4, I'm not sure if we'll be able to play the game before 2020!

idk why people think a game most likely having huge technical struggles is going to waste even more time being brought onto a new platform. they missed the opportunity to cancel it too so i think it's still coming out on the ps3.

it'll definitely launch after the ps4 comes out though, like god of war 2 did with the ps3. who knows if it'll be any good.
